D7：Brainstorming is Dead - Idealogue method
Presenter: Pepe Nummi, CPF
IAF Core Competencies: C, D, E
Number of participants: 6-100

In this session you learn a North European facilitation method called Idealogue. The idealogue method is an improved alternative to traditional brainstorming methods and doesn’t just allow for ideas to be created and shared, but also helps facilitate the understanding of shared ideas, creating group consensus.

Traditional brainstorming methods have proven effective in generating and sharing ideas, but often times a person is most concerned with making sure that their ideas are being heard, and understood. Instead of focusing on others, they are focused on making others hear their own ideas, with the result being that they find it challenging to connect their ideas with others and to form a common understanding. Idealogue is a group level tool that not only helps people to understand ideas, but to also connect them to other ideas and to reach group consensus on what the best ideas are.

This session is facilitated by professional facilitators of Grape People - an international company focused on the art of facilitation.
